Tackle the Tower

Event: Tackle the Tower
Venue: Tower at Erieview, downtown Cleveland
When: Saturday, Feb. 5, at 9 a.m.
Why you might be interested: If you get a rise out of exercise. The ninth annual Tackle the Tower stair climb benefits the Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland. If you haven't already registered for this race organized by Hermes Sports & Events, you still can do so on the day of the event for $25. Runners ready to climb 38 flights of stairs will be lined up in the order their entry was received and will start every 10 seconds. It's not easy, but think of it this way — if you've been running all winter in Northeast Ohio, this will be your first chance in what seems like months where you won't be slipping on ice.
